Yesterday was such a restful day for me. I have off on Fridays and just seemed to sleep like a baby Thursday night and last night for that matter. It might be because everything is coing into line again financially. Everyone is mostly caught up, everything is insured, and things are looking good. I was going to go to Pullman this weekend but decided to wait until the weekend of the 24th, Mike will try to get it off and then we will both drive out.

Mike did a really good job of straightening out and cleaning the porch, it looks like a new porch. Mr. Squirrel has a new bag of peanuts and the birds have a full feeder of seed. I really like feeding the birds, as I can watch them from my computer, which looks out towards downtown Seattle. The problem with the birds is that they leave the seed shells and they are a pain in the butt to cleanup.

Mr. Winky got a bath this morning, his eye isn’t looking so good and his breathing is becoming decidely more raspy. He is our oldest rattie (almost 2 1/2) now. He has become much more friendly now that he is getting older. I’ll take him out and he’ll just sit in my lap and chitter away (chittering is when a rat grinds the teeth together, its like purring but for rats). I’m just going to relax all weekend. Oh yeah the other good thing that came about this week. I had taken the car in to the shop a week ago (on the 25th of June) it has been having problems with starting up. Well as it turns out it was the relay for the gas pump and ignition. It was covered under warranty and so I didn’t have to pay a cent, happy me. They replaced both parts.
